I've found out today that one of my lovely little Westies has a massive tumour in her intestine. The vet says it's not operable so we are looking at keeping her happy and pain free for as long as she has left. 

we've  had a great summer in the van in Cornwall but I never imagined it would be her last...

So sad.

Wow! You have all blown me away with your expressions of support. Thank you so much.

Its difficult to believe that the dog who is rolling around on her back in the garden has this vile thing inside her. 

Thanks for your kind thoughts everyone. X

I've been through this myself recently, Ggregu, and still find it difficult to talk about. Be strong for your dog. There is some consolation at the end in knowing you've saved your dear dog from unnecessary suffering.

At least she enjoyed a wonderful 5 week holiday in your beautiful county over the summer Tinwheeler!

I'm glad to hear you have happy memories of that time.

Sorry to hear the sad news ggregu. We love them so much it hurts like hell when they get sick. Its coming up to a year since we lost ours with cancer. Everyone on here was so kind in their thoughts and helped a great deal. They told me I'd know when the time would come to say goodbye and they were right.  Enjoy your happy days together and all the great memories of the life you shared. X

Kastaris I remember your posts as I was away in the van at the time. I hope that time has been a great healer for you. Thank you for your kind words, they are much appreciated.

So sorry to hear your sad news, Ggregu.

Westies have such a lovely temperament and are always curious about what's going on.

Enjoy your time with her and I'm sure you'll make sure that she enjoys herself and isn't in pain.
